<p>A rowing shoe 1 of adjustable length has a shell 2 divided into a heel section 4 and a toe section 9 carried by parts (6 and 7, Fig 6) of an elongate chassis (5, Fig 6). A first chassis-part (7, Fig 6) carries the toe-section and slides on a second chassis-part (6, Fig 6) which is fixed to the foot-stretcher of the boat. A lever 30 pivoted on the first chassis-part may project forwardly from the toe-section and may have a slotted projection (29, Fig 7) engaged with one of a series of teeth (31, Fig 7) to restrain sliding of the first chassis-part. Depression of the lever may release the restraint by lifting the projection clear of the teeth, so allowing length-adjustment of the shoe to a size indicated through a window (3, Fig 5). Release of the lever may allow the projection to engage a tooth and hold the adjusted size, urged by pressure of the rower's foot. A wide strap 11 may extends over the instep of the shoe and may be secured on the outside flank by fabric-fastening 15.</p> |
